Project Information
Hi all, I see all you guys & gals
making these beautiful boards and
thought I'd give it a try. ( looks easy )
I was wrong. I figured out the basics
and never really researched how to
do it but that's what it's about ( trial &
error )
The oak board 21"x11×1 1/4
I made from 1 1/4×1 1/4 stair ballisters.
No machining, just glued up, sanded,
rounded the edges, & finished.
(A lot of sanding, No planer )
The second board 29"x12"x1 1/4
was made from
cabinet filler strips 3/4 x 3" wide. I cut them
in half, stood them up & glued together
with a couple other different kinds of
filler strips.
(Don't know what kind of wood but label
said maple spice on one of them) Ran
through planer ( bought one after first board,
saved ALOT of time ) sand, finish.
Can someone please explain the
different kind of cutting boards there
are ? I always see end grain cutting
boards but what is it called when the
side of a 3/4 board is on the surface
(Idk if I know what end grain means)
All help is appreciated and thank
You in advance
